I have a Sony Vaio VPCF115FM with a nvidia GT 330m. The display works with the visa driver, but when I try using the 190.53 nvidia driver it can't detect my laptop's built in lcd, but the vga port works with an external monitor. When I look at the Xorg.0.log I see the following:

I also forgot to mention I'm running openSUSE 11.2 and I've tried both the 190.53 from the repository and the manual 190.53 install. I also tried the 195.30 driver and the kubuntu live cd with the 185 driver and those didn't work either.

I just bought a Vaio notebook with a 210m that had what sounds like the same issue. This page http://republicadelosbananos.wordpre...river-install/ had the solution for me. There are still other issues like screen going black if you drop back to the console and glitches coming back from hibernation, but it does get X up and running...
